(...) This reduces number and the size of components . In spite of the conductors have to be very large to manage with the high currents . Mainly, static compensation is not done at line voltage. A bank of transformers steps the transmission voltage (for example, 230 kV) down to a lower level (for example, 9.5 kV).Groups of specially constructed and large, high-voltage are called capacitor banks . They generally are used to supply vast pulses of current for many pulsed power applications. These include electromagnetic forming, radar, fusion research, particle accelerators, Marx generators, pulsed lasers (especially TEA lasers), and pulse forming networks. Non-linear loads distort the (...)
